Review
I really like the progression of The Vampire Diaries. The Awakening was okay, The Struggle was good and The Fury was pretty fantastic. I completely stand by my earlier opinion that you must read this series in order and preferably one right after another. This series has moved from being one of your generic vampire stories with the required love triangle to being so much more.
Elena's becoming a vampire was surprising and the revelation of the ultimate villain of the series was truly shocking. The Fury is a wild ride leading to a sad and unexpected ending. I love how Elena learns that having a few close friends you can count one is so much more important than having a pack of less than loyal followers and hangers-on. The Fury is definitely my favorite in the series so far.
